CRIMSON RAMBLER .L 4. .0. ,LT . .5 a .1: b 013 772ml: Three-quarters of a century youove stood Aloof and proud; and yet it seems you smile Upon each timid Freshman as to say, ioYouTe very welcome here. Your mellowed brick Has much of dignity and yet of warmth. The well-worn steps bear silent witness to The many feet that climbed your friendly stairs, And somewhere underneath your sheltering roof The pigeons find a safe retreat. You stood With just the same impassive majesty When through the years your students marched away To San Juan Hill, the Marne, and now again Your service flag is brave with man;r stars. So many 015.5585 filed into your rooms With just the same old hopes or fears as we. That something of the spirit of those folk- Some echo of their thoughts and of their wordsp- Has stayed behind with you to comfort us. Somehow you are the esgence of our life At Carthage . . . Battered, proud, magnificent, You still command the campus. And we find In you, not just a building marking off The years, but more a message from the pasto The spirit of the days that used to be. MARY MAIN CURRAN, '41 FIVE
